trekkie_ram Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Trekkie, are you getting ready for your tour overseas? Yes, it's getting closer. I just need to get there. Taking my laptop, iPad & a few books for something to do in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Disable anything which automatically updates. I know that folk with mobile phones have faced a huge bill for calls back to a provider from foreign climes. You used to have a square folding mess tin. Wrap the I pad in a towel and pack it inside one of these or failing that. a biscuit tin or similar. I don't know what sort of luggage you are allowed but if you could get a Samsonite case that would be good. Anyway mate, look after yourself as you are looking after the rest of us. Keep in touch as & when. Mate, that is a cracking idea that I will definitely look into. If only it was christmas with the big roses tins. As for the case, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gorilla-Box-Wheels-Military-Plastic-Storage-Trunk-/110885546083?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item19d14b2863 I considered something like this (and they are allowed) but £60 seems steep, and I've heard they are for sale for $30/40 in the BX/PX out there.

Brammie Steve Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 These cases might suit your needs Trek.

trekkie_ram Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 It's still expensive though mate. That eBay 'Gorilla Box' for £60 would be the case I would buy if I felt I could justify it. I'm waiting for my mate who went out last week to confirm the prices in the Afghan PX, if it isn't too different I'll buy one. Then still put the ipad in a biscuit tin / tupperware box.

trekkie_ram Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 864..us/img864/5001/baged I ordered that box in the end, it's not quite what I expected, but it should do the job. I've also ordered a 12" money tin, that is comfortably big enough to fit a bubble wrapped iPad in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
